🌷 Join Me for Tulip Time in Belgium and Holland! 🌷

I’m excited to be sailing on Avalon Waterways’ Tulip Time Cruise, April 1–8, 2027—and I would love for you to join me!

Springtime in Belgium and Holland is truly magical, with colorful landscapes, charming towns, historic windmills and spectacular spring flowers. This itinerary is perfect for:

🌷 Garden and flower lovers
🌷 Mothers and daughters
🌷 Girlfriend getaways
🌷 Couples looking for a beautiful spring escape

One of the highlights will be visiting the one and only Keukenhof Gardens. With millions of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in bloom, it is one of the world’s most magnificent flower gardens and an absolute must-see!

We’ll also visit Ghent, Belgium—a romantic and historic city filled with canals, medieval architecture, inviting cafés and plenty of Belgian charm. It’s one of the many reasons this cruise is also a wonderful getaway for couples.

Best of all, I’ll be sailing with you! Whether you travel with your spouse, mother, daughter, girlfriends or on your own, you’ll already have a friendly face onboard.

Special pricing is available when you reserve by October 12, 2026, so now is a great time to secure your preferred stateroom.

You can find A LOT of important pre-travel information all in one place at travel.state.gov/destination. Even if you're going somewhere you’ve been before, entry requirements, local laws, and safety considerations can change. Get in the habit of looking up the latest information before EVERY international trip.

Very important update at MSP! 😉✈️

Beginning today, passengers are asked to ensure all carry-on items fit within a traditional 9x13 hotdish pan. Surface area should not exceed 90 tater tots.

This update is designed to streamline the boarding process and ensure a consistent, more Minnesotan experience for all travelers. It's one of our easiest policies to remember: if it fits in a hotdish pan, you're good to go. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to seeing you at the gate.

For our TSA Precheck/Global Entry friends, make sure you’re enrolled in the TSA Touchless ID program to make the airport experience painless!! It will take you 3 minutes to enroll via your Skymiles account. We found it easier to do on the Delta website vs the app 👍✈️
